The first pages — with Omar as the hero

غدًا اليوم العالمي في المدرسة! سيحضر كل صديق في صفّ عمر طبقًا أو كلمة أو لعبة من بلده. وتساءل عمر: «لكن، ماذا أحضر أنا؟»

Tomorrow was International Day! Every friend in Omar’s class would bring a dish, a word or a game from home. “But what should I bring?” Omar wondered.

ثم لمح عمر حبل القفز القديم عند الباب، وقد اهترأ قليلًا من مئة لعبة سعيدة. قال عمر: «هذا! أجمل لعبة في العالم كله.»

Then Omar spotted the old skipping rope by the door, a bit frayed from a hundred happy games. “This!” said Omar. “The best game in the whole world.”
